During a crossing of the North Sea from Helgoland, Germany to the UK we were caught in a Force 9 Severe Gale with winds gusting 45/50 knots and the odd wave height reaching up to 10 meters. The boat was sailing under storm jib alone reaching speeds up to 8 knots

This footage was taken a day later when things had calmed down a little.

The yacht is a 28ft Feeling 850.
